So I didn't realize when we added the Google calendar (okay, when I added the Google calendar) that it would require anyone who wants to view it to sign in with Google. We are TRYING to make it completely public and transparent - I don't want people to have to be 'members' to see what is happening at the end of the block.

Please be patient in the meantime, and let me know if you have other calendar solutions! Thanks!

We will be trying to host an interactive calendar for the Garden and Park this year. It may be a bit of trial and error, but stay tuned as we update and keep track of different events. Things to look for are:

Community Garden Activities - including clean-ups, plantings, lessons, and simply spending time with your neighbors

Recommended planting times - did you know that you should be putting your peas in NOW, and that carrots, lettuce, spinach, chard, and kale can all be planted too? We'll let you know when the best time to get the tomatoes in is too!

Volunteer opportunities and projects. Do you want to help us make garden signage? How about mulching beds in the heat of the summer? Do you have some spare time to help water seedlings?

About Enright Park

Enright Park Neighborhood Association is comprised of homeowners, renters, public housing residents, and landlords who live in close proximity to Enright Parklet in Pittsburgh's East Liberty neighborhood.

In recent years, we have seen a dramatic transformation of our community, which has resulted in the on-going displacement of our friends and neighbors. This displacement has disproportionately impacted people of color, seniors living on fixed incomes, low-income working families, and the many ways in which these groups intersect.

The Enright Park Neighborhood Association was established to advance the joint causes of affordable housing, public open space, and an inclusive approach to planning and development that will build and enhance a livable East Liberty for everyone in our community. We intend to win a better East Liberty for everyone, and to help set a new standard self-determination for our communities.

Please join us, and let us know how we can support and promote your voice too. For membership information, please complete the form here.
